So, I believe I started a new St. Patrick’s Day Tradition: watching The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns and eating a breakfast fry up. It’s not St. Patty’s until you watch a movie about Leprechauns with Whoopie Goldberg and Roger Daltrey in it.

Originally inspired by Sugar and Snapshots, but then I got lazy. Instead of the fancy frosting recipe, I just made the basic butter cream frosting and added a bunch of Baileys into it. Beware the ganache – I had to have a sit down after just smelling it 🙂

I packed them for someone visiting us, that is why they are in plastic glasses. They were too wide to get to the bottom, so I put some Easter grass in there. I like the way they came out.

This is the before picture. That is a LOT of ingredients. We used Michael’s instead of Bailey’s because I tasted it in the store and liked it better. And, it was on sale.

I had some left-over chocolate sheet cake [Recipe] and some butter cream frosting that I put a bunch of Bailey’s Irish Cream in. The fondant is horrible, but I blame the crumbly cake – I just couldn’t get a smooth crumb-coat. Bad Martha!

My husband really loved the puffins that I made last time, so since I had some extra buttermilk laying around I decided to make some more. This time, I skipped the chocolate ships and put in some greed food coloring and St. Patty’s sprinkles instead. I baked it in the Mini Shamrock Shaped Silicone Cake Pan (that I bought for $5 in July – Woot for off-season shopping!)

I took these pictures in a hurry, since someone was super hungry! With the rest of the batter, I made some regular green puffins that I’ve frozen so he can eat it during the rest of the week.

And getting into the spirit, I also tattooed a banana 😀 Now’s it a St. Patty’s Banana. It’s a temporary tattoo that I got from Target for $2 for a pack.
